In other news my semester is almost over! Finals next week. SIU is in the Semi-Finals this weekend for the NCAA I-AA FCS Playoffs. We face Delaware on Saturday (12/8) at 3pm Central Time on ESPN. I'll be there with the Marching Band.

I had an interesting day, today. I woke up around 4 a.m. with a fever and the chills. That alone made the day pretty miserable. Later on, I decided that I was well enough to play the ice hockey game that my team was scheduled to play today. During the last 2 minutes, I got hit in the hand with a slapshot. I just got back from the hospital where they told me that I have a partially dislocated middle finger and a broken bone in my hand. All in all, I've had better days.

I'm going to go ahead and shift this to weather. Has anyone else been hit hard by winter weather in the last day or so? I didn't have power from about 1am - 11am and since then it has been on and off. Until the sun came out a few hours ago, the ice made traffic and driving in general a real hassle.

I will not dare step into the actual Smallville thread, but I had to say it somewhere ... earlier tonight I finished watching season 6 of Smallville on dvd with my bro and a mate. Finally! It stopped being shown on television a third of the way into the sixth season ... horribly annoying. Now all I want to do is get my hands on #7. How far into it is American TV? I know some of you guys watch the show.
